Alright, I couldn’t stay away. I should have known better, lol. Time to set up my first ‘teaser’ for my EP I have planned to released sometime next year. I was debating about what direction to go in after the album, and I think I found it. I’m revisiting a couple select tracks I wrote back between 2007-2013 and re-writing them to have a little more modern edge to it, while keeping the vibe from that era. Simpler times, haha.

I have a couple already fully recorded, 1 just needs vocals and I have another selected I want to redo as the new years starts. Here’s the instrumental version of the 1st track off the EP, “Back to Basics”…10 Years.


I hope you enjoy it as much as I did revamping it. Would absolutely love some feedback on it. Did I capture that 2007-esque vibe?


Lyrics:


It feels forever ago

That we thought we had

The world in our hands

(We thought we had it all)


Dreams in our minds

Ambition in our eyes

Still unbroken by life

(Still unbroken)


We thought it would be

Easier…

Is it too late to find

Our place in this life


When’d it fall apart?


10 years from now

Where will we be

Will we have become

All we thought we’d be?

Will we be, just as lost as now

Or will we find ourselves

10 years from now

10 years from now


We let ourselves fall

In a search to rewind

The clock back to

(Back to a better time)


Now we’re all stranded

Like a wreckage out at sea

With the life we lived that led us here

Crumbling beneath


But 10 years from now

Where will we be

Will we have become

All we thought we’d be?

Will we be, just as lost as now

Will we find ourselves

10 years from now

10 years from now


If our best years’ behind us,

What’s left to look for?

10 years ago

I never could’ve dreamed

Life would lead me here

I'd be the man that you now see

I’ve conquered everything

This life has thrown at me

This is the anthem of our story

Our legacy

FarFromSundown responds:

Not all are as pop/punky as this one, but within the realm of rock in the late 00's. Bands like Breaking Benjamin, Sum 41, Chevelle, Default, those kind of bands really resonated with me around those times.

I really really enjoyed the whole tone of the track! I think the chords and melody are very well composed, and I would imagine the whole vibe fits the lyrics you put in the description. Great job on the whole composer stuff!

This is definitely the cleanest track I have heard from you. The reverb problem I remember you having a while ago is just not there on this song, so I will give you kudos for figuring your mixes out! Only thing I would really fix is making those drums stay more up-front in the mix so you can hear them really punch through that tiny bit more, but that's just a nit-pick and I think the song sounds great as it is.

Also, your song-writing is really good! I am not a punk rock connoisseur by any means, so I can't really say if the lyrics follow a similar vibe to 2007 punk rock, but I still can appreciate the whole poetic structure of the lyrics. It looks like you have done your bit of writing outside of music!

Overall, really really good! Can't wait for the EP release!

FarFromSundown responds:

I appreciate that so much! Definitely think this is one of my cleaner ones. Glad you enjoyed it!

Guitar tones sound f*cking awesome in this one man!

FarFromSundown responds:

Believe it or not, I have 5 different tones in this one. Layered through out haha
